Patents by Inventor Irwin I. Bessen

Irwin I. Bessen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4087589
    Abstract: An article having an outer surface and an inner cavity, such as a hole or channel with a metallic inner surface, is provided with an inner metallic coating on the inner surface and, in one form, an outer metallic coating on the outer surface. The inner coating is provided as a result of decomposition and subsequent thermal homogenization of one or more organic compounds including Al, Cr or Ni or alloys including one or more of those elements. The outer coating can be the same as the inner coating or can be a metallic coating of one of a variety of known metallic coatings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 1976
    Date of Patent: May 2, 1978

  • Patent number: 3964877
    Abstract: A seal member is provided with an improved combination of oxidation resistance, fluid erosion resistance, reduced thermal conductivity and low flow stress at elevated temperatures through a plurality of metallurgically bonded metal alloy powder particles in the size range substantially of about +140 to about -270 ASTM (U.S. Standard Sieve) the metal particles being metallographically distinguishable and consisting essentially of, by weight, 15 - 35% Cr, about 8 to 20% Al, up to 5% of elements selected from Y, Hf and the rare earth elements, with the balance selected from Fe, Co and Ni, the member having a density in the range of about 65 - 90% of theoretical density.

  • Patent number: 3961098
    Abstract: An article is provided with improved resistance to hot corrosion through a coating on a metal surface based on an element selected from Fe, Co and Ni, the coating comprising a filled matrix bonded by interdiffusion with the substrate. The matrix is applied by impinging on the substrate metal surface a plurality of heated metallic particles, such as by plasma spraying. The coating includes a filler metal of aluminum and preferably an alloy of aluminum and at least one other element, for example Cr, deposited on and interdiffused with the matrix, such as through a halide vapor deposition process employing a mixture of aluminum powder and other powders. As a result of application of the filler metal, there is provided from the matrix a coating layer of an alloy including an average of about 8-20 weight percent aluminum, the application process resulting in substantial recrystallization of the matrix.
